Belarus’ Soldiers and infantry fighting vehicles entered Minsk amid protests, according to Thomas van Linge.

From the Article

“Thomas van Linge, an Amsterdam based political science student, reported that armoured personnel carriers had entered the Belarusian capital, just when thousands are once again out to protest.

There are numerous reports that large military convoys with BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles and unmarked BTR-70 armored personnel carriers are heading to the Minsk city center. Numerous witnesses have released a video of military vehicles on the streets of Minsk.”
